My late🎈🎉 #birthday🎈🎉 post... My sister Kitten sent me a beautiful birthday wish, my mom sent me bday 💵, my girls Leah & Mishana gave me a day of surprise outings and an amazing Ipsy gift (🤗), my sister Crystal sent me some gifts including Edible Arrangements yummies and my son and his dad took me out for dinner and even bought me a birthday cake. 🤩 My other bestie Meldie is sending me some of her amazingness from her brand. I'm so very blessed! 🎊😊💖 Although my friends and family made my birthday amazing, last week was extremely difficult to get through. I'd found out some pretty frustrating news about my health, plus I was severely ill most of the week & weekend. So I was down, crying, pensive and feeling sorry for myself, real talk. There are so many things in life that I want to accomplish. Good health, happiness, more children, a well joy-filled life with my kiddo, making a difference in the lives of others... When your birthday comes around, all of those misgivings seem to surface. 😑 The Lord reminded me of last year when I almost died of sepsis and kidney infection. While I was hospiitalized, I contracted another infection from the hospital itself. 🤦♀️ That was an incredibly dark time, and the pain I experienced is like nothing else. God not only got me through it & healed me, but I am here to tell the #testimony of victory over death! 🤗 Because of Christ, I stand strong, even on the most difficult of days. Every single day, no matter what diagnosis comes, or how my body feels, I will continue to praise the Lord for His unending Grace and mercy. To be blessed to go from Glory to Glory. And I am so honored to call Jesus my Savior. I pray that I live life well, raise my son well, serve others, inspire, encourage, and share hope & courage with others. Most of all, I pray to be courageous enough to walk out the life that Christ is calling me to so that one day I will hear Him say: "Well done thy good and faithful servant". #Goals 🙌🙏😊 XO ~Chel 😘 #WisdomWednesday #ChelsReelLife #minivlog #BirthdayWeekend #truestory #spoonie #Daughteroftheking #mystory #actress #FaithWalk #God #potd https://www.instagram.com/p/CFwtIFEnOlw/?igshid=1k3lybqpg4zwb
